I didn't think I was going to spend 30 minutes watching people dig an excavator out of a mud pit, but here I am enjoying it more than discovery channel in my hotel.
My guess 9hrs 45minutes
Are you married ?
It's basically the same content, but with less commercials. The triumph of decentralized content creation at work.
Thinking back to your lowboy crawl a couple vlogs back as I'm binge watching your recoveries got me to thinking about some videos a couple years back of MASSIVE equipment transports where every individual trailer had electric independent steering (& drive)... I wonder how much faster and safer you could get staged if you incorporated low-speed steering on your lowboys to turn the rear of them into sharp turns way faster... I've watched some of your fabrication videos & I'm positive your shop could do the mods & safety speed restrictions completely in-house. Just my penny's worth of possibilities...
It'll take you less than 12 hours
I like the way heavy d stops and listen to his crew when they have suggestions. also nobody is shouting everyone is talking to each other. well respected heavy d
Yea I was surprised that no one was screaming. Everybody was chill and not stressed out.
I had that exact same thought a week ago after watching like 40 videos. I mean they could have just edited it all out, but I doubt it.

You obviously know what you are doing, but the amount of people standing next to cables under tension gives me the willies. Stay safe and keep doing great work!
They seemed to have absolutely no respect for if one of those things breaks. I know they're professionals... .but yikes.
27 hours 26 minutes 11 seconds
I was thinking the exact same thing. Wild.
I could tell pretty quick what kind of guy the owner was when he had his entire family with young kids getting close to watch it, he walked the taught pull rope like a tightrope, nobody was wearing any high vis or hardhats, the 450 squeaked constantly indicating it had no grease in any of the pins and was thus very poorly maintained, and the fact he had an ancient Cat D7 to help pull it free. All I'm saying is that I'm not super surprised he got that 450 that stuck.
@@iqcoolcup cake wars is very intense too!
It's incredible that your cables never break and kill everyone near them.
indeed ... flying bits of shackle!
Only takes once...and you'll never see that video.
@@butchgreene Happened to one of my ancestors in the 19th Century, a tug boat captain in Portsmouth UK. Cut in half when the hawse broke.
@@JelMain that's a very curious piece of info. it's cool that you can trace your lineage that far back, really gives you a healthier perspective on life
i know that my grand grand father war a blacksmith in a Siberian village, early 1900s, and he got kicked in the chest by a horse during horse shoe-ing process
@@TheBinaryHappiness Those were the days. The family was prominent in the town, which stopped for his funeral. Although we can't trace the lineage before c1760, their trade indicates they were from Orkney, in the clan which was headed by St Magnus, and from there the Sagas go back to c500CE, including such lovely people of Eric Bloodaxe. On the other side, with one uncertainty during the French Revolution when identities were fluid, we go back to Rome - but then again, so does much of Europe!
21:45 Folks standing amongst those cables gave me the shivers... You Mention 22:11 "A bad time for everyone, if one of these cables breaks"... I'm a former Navy Sailor that went to Nam on an "Oiler" (USS Mispillion AO105) and witnessed (or I should say, saw the aftermath) of an emergency breakaway while refueling an aircraft carrier. The cables we used were heavier than yours and when they snapped... Gawd, it was pretty crazy the damage done to the steel super structure of our ship from the whipping cable.
Stand clear folks... we heard the horror stories from the crew who'ed been onboard for years and I won't repeat that here, but one can only imagine the destructive power of a snapped cable.
That is a huge FACT!! Yea, I will not say what would happen to a human body if one of them were to snap, much less the damage to piece of steel..
I was in the US Navy as well, and heard some stories. I was on the USS Kansas City AOR 3 when we had a emergency breakaway.. Not fun at all..
You can see that they were just lightly tensioning it, not really pilling yet.
14:16 That's a clear sign of a great family... wifey's down there, shoveling mud with the guys, helping clear those tracks!! Way to go girl!!
She is in great shape too after all those kids great woman !
She's laughing and smiling through the whole thing! What a woman!

Watching one cat dig out his friend! Nature is beautiful! So heartwarming!
I bet this was like a 6.5 hr job, placing those mats correctly probably took most the time.
Great vid and keep up the awesome work you do!
I have been a equipment operator my entire life and I have never seen a piece of equipment that stuck yet. Good job men 👏 👍
You haven't been around enough if you think that was bad ....just saying ,suction was the biggest enemy on this job .
@@Jacob-64 I've never seen a machine that stuck before either and I've been operating machines in mud bogs, swamps and mountain passes.
The only machine I ever had to dig out that was mired in like that was an old Loraine drag shovel in a sand pit that hadn't been active in 4-5 years, so several years of wet seasons unmoved sitting on a sand bed, it had sank completely up to the cabin, To be fair, we were a little less kind with our choice of tools pulling it out. Dozers and skidders chained up together make for one hell of a pull. Still was a lot of digging, and work to get it out. The downside, the engine was not in serviceable condition so we pulled it out as complete dead weight
They only suck the undercarriage. I've seen excavators where the whole entire carbody is buried and part of the cab underneath
Guess some know when to get out when it gets deep 😂.
I worked many years in heavy construction. This brought back many memories of those years. Sometimes the hurry to get unstuck made it worse. Mats are your friend, use them, bring more than you think you need from the very beginning. Bring the worst mats in your yard and leave the best ones for crane work. We have destroyed some mats but never left a machine behind.
That was dug out the excavator was then covered with dirt to make it look like it got stuck. I've seen every stuck you can imagine

Great recovery… love how you use the bucket to offset the weight. ❤
Being a ironworker foreman for 30+ years and being around cranes and heavy equipment for my entire life, if I lived anywhere close to you I would sweep floors for free until you brought me on to your team! I absolutely love you're channel and the team you have are amazing!!!
I spotted something I have pretty big respect for, I mean of course I respect the entire hustle and getting people out of these situations and recovering their equipment and vehicles but one small detail I noticed Sparks do was around 15:00 when the other guy was like “let’s get that hook off” and he approached the bucket of sparks excavator, Sparks took his hands completely off the controls so that the machine is completely dead stopped which is a huge and good habit to be in, seen too many people get smacked because someone went to get something out of a bucket and the operator didn’t stop in his tracks and let go of the controls. Awesome job paying as close attention as possible and making sure no one gets hurt in these recoveries man. I’m in the landscaping industry and for those in that industry, in the construction industry, whatever industry you’re in with heavy equipment, always a good habit to have when you have hands on the ground helping you with things so you don’t have to get out of the machine a million times. I love these recovery videos and have been bingeing them since I found your channel, such a cool vibe and I don’t even watch tv anymore cause of this channel and channels like this over the past year that compose their videos to come out like a tv show but better, less commercials, more personal, better content. Can’t beat it. Stay safe and have fun out there Sparks and crew!
Its even better when they isolate the machine with the safety lever i came up with an idea 15 years ago with a red light green light on top of cab connected to safety lever when red light was on you couldn’t go near machine as soon as operators attention was had and green light was on you could do your business as a groundsman i have seen several companies adopt this over the years.
@@blinkerfluid4712 should be called blinker light instead
Hands off is first rule when bodies approach. Good catch.
Yup, if you're ground crew get a hands up visual and if you're operating honk the fuckin horn at em if they just approach without visual.
I rewatched that part. I see it was the guy with the red shirt. I can also predict what he would say if his arm or another body part of his ever got mangled up... "Oh, that's the way it came from the factory!" Lol! That guy's a hoot!
I'm very late to the show. Sorry about this late, late comment. I have spent, maybe 20 hours behind the controls of an excavator. I have watched, with awe, professionals grab 55 gallon drums filled with broken up concrete, turn them over, shake out the concrete, and put the drum in the recycle bin while I was the supervisor on a demolition project. I'm impressed that they got that machine stuck so well. Most operators can get those unstuck pretty easy (at least to the view of an amature). Edit: that is one big mud hole! No wonder it was stuck!
This was really neat to watch. You guys never gave up! Awesome job! 👍
That’s crazy! I literally was part of the team who built the reservoir like 200 yards west of there back in 2011. We sunk a D6 up to the cab when we were digging for the dam embankment (among some other gear). That area has some of the worst clay, silt and liquefaction that I have ever seen in my life! I have a literally been stuck and lost boots from walking through it.

Here in Bahariterra we have quicksand
Its the suction of the mud that prevents lifting vehicle out of it. Like stepping in gooey mud and your shoe gets sucked off your foot. I learned a trick from a crusty old maintenance Master Sergeant when I was stationed in Germany. He had fabricated these long pipe sections that he could connect to an industrial air compressor. Drive the pipes under the stuck vehicle then blast air through them. The compressed air breaks the suction. We had an M113 that was stuck bigger that Stuttgart. Even tried an AVLS (M60 tank chassis based bridge launcher) to no avail. So this MSG pulls up, rigs up his pipes, blasts air under the M113, and we pull (winch) it out with a 5-ton wheeled wrecker. I don't know why I've never seen this technique used on any of these recovery videos, but hope this gives someone else an idea. But if someone patents it, I want royalties.
That is a great idea. Haha. been a long time since I heard the phrase " Bigger than Stuttgart ".

A nifty idea!
Good point. When the English fought the French at Agincourt in 1415, the mud suction gave the English the victory. The English wore cloth, the French plate armor. If a French knight fell down in the muck, he could never get up as he was suctioned down into the mud. So an Englishman could just come over and stab the Frenchman through an appropriate hole. If a Frenchman fell face first, he would drown in his own armor. Mud can be nasty stuff.
Fantastic team. You're one hell of a Boss and Mate for your crew.
I love your guys work and you are good at it. Something that will make things a little easier and less risky: Next time try hitting Dozer first, clean up around the site and get the working ground lower. Then Assume the direction in which the water is coming from, dig a deep trech about 4-5 ft deeper than how deep the tractor is sinking. This breaks the hydraulic bond of the water underground, reduces the movement from pumping more water into the wreck. This jist makes it easier to work and reduces the headache of getting in and out to the wreck.
I feel like a time lapse of the whole event from one high angle on jobs like this would be really cool. Throw it in at the end so we can see how the whole job went down in a minute or two ;)

Amazing rescue...but the amount of people still near the cables under full pull is crazy...they'll rip you to pieces faster than a blink...

You guys are a bad ass, and I love watching your guises channel and you inspire me to start a recovery company of my own
You should consider buying some anti-whip blankets. You lay them over cables and straps to absorb the initial energy if they break. A broken cable almost cut my truck in half and I will not pull again without them. Cheap insurance
I agree just looking out would hate to see somthing happen to anyone

add to that he was in an open seat/cockpit, no door or cage even not that itd prob help anyway. yeah I agree, def must have when doing super heavy stuff like this.
@@angelo_giachetti Same. The cameraman between the two vehicles just feet from the tensioned cable… if it snapped he would have been in pieces.

2 short chains about 5" longer then width of the tracks, hooks on ends.. hook them across the track, (like a snow chain on a tire) then you got a place too pull from on each side, and it will help get track moving if you hook them on top of track in middle, and pull from them gentle..

Matts is what saved the machine, it would've keep digging in without them. I did pipeline work for several years all through swamps, we used matts to do everything, we had one to fall in a sinkhole and the operator had to climbed out the top lid, it went down that fast like quicksand, took 3 days to dig it out, and 3 excavators and a dozer. Fun times. Enjoy the videos

We have 4 450's they didn't come with much tracking power. You can multiple your towing power by hooking to the top of the track pads and not have to rely on the drives as much. Good job guys Northern Minnesota here and when we're stuck at 20 below it adds another twist.
Take the dozer, lift the front end with the blade and go forward to get the tracks spinning and let it dig a hole, then hook the winch to the stuck equipment. Its what we used to do when moving rail cars that derailed. It gives the dozer a back stop or a chock to brace against to keep the winch from pulling it backward.
I admire your perseverance, I had the oppertunity to see a 30 ton longer track cat excuvator being salvaged out of marsh, tiring job. You guy have guts.

@Yippee Skippy Using blokes only increases the pull ability. It doesn't change the weight of the pulling vehicle (the anchor point). A 5 ton truck doesn't become a 30 ton armoured vehicle.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but I would place a few heavy rubber mats on the wires and slings when pulling mate...
Always plan for worst case, if they snapped there was several people within "severing" reach.
Just a suggestion, loved the vid and mad respect for your work ethic and the way you treat everyone.
They wouldn't severe anybody in half all they would do is hurt them in a royal fashion the only way I know this is cause I watched an episode of mythbusters that showed that snapping wire will not cut someone in half it'll hurt them like I said but there would be no severing its all a myth but I do see where ur coming from

This was Great! I love it when you do heavy duty problem solving like this. Now you need to do a one hour show on having an industrial level Blacksmith repair the 5 ton's bumper. Also, five ton wreckers are cool but if want awesome, you need to get an Army 10 ton wrecker or the heavy tank recovery vehicle. VTR M88. The M88 is designed to rescue 50 ton tanks, has a huge winch and a spade blade on the front to anchor it while doing so. You will need a dragon wagon, (super duty Army low boy and 10 ton tractor) to move it around. It's not too road friendly, even though it has rubber on steel treads. I think it weighs around 80 tons.
Great job, looked like a lot of fun. I like all the "Factory" stuff on the big truck specially the bumper and tail lights, lol. Y'all are great, hope to meet y'all some day

The best way to get that excavator out this first of all, dig around both sides of the tracks. Dig a path in front of it. Dig all the way down to the tracks to get the air pockets out and you will be able to get that excavator out of there
This was like LetsDig18 and Matt's Off Road Recovery in one show... Awesome 😁😁

Would installing well points be a viable option? Great video as always!
Good job to get that out of the mud. Well done!
Had a coworker stick a similar excavator in a bog hole, here in interior Alaska. Once he moved onto that ground it began to sink and it was above the tracks before he could rotate the arm around and claw free. It took a 980 hooked to a 40 ton haul truck to reef it out. Took about four hours.
I work on excavators at a dealer. That machine needs a pump/ work group adjustment. Not enough pressure going to the travel motors or work group. A simple turn of a couple reliefs would have made that recovery much easier.
So your saying that the track that moves it forward and reverse had minimized power and by tweaking some, ; valves? Would have gave it power to travel faster ?
That's possibility crossed my mind too! The turning power looked way to weak

First time ever watching and I love it. It's like a show that would be on the discovery channel. 2 things I might suggest is mic up every one and edit that in the studio and normalize all the audio. Other than those 2, good show.
As a safety guy who has investigated too many trench collapses, these conditions really make me nervous with the combination of unconsolidated ground and water plus a lot of vibration from heavy equipment. As the video showed, those sides were very unstable and prone to sloughing. I was happy to see one side of the hole looked to be sloped back pretty well, the other side was a bit too vertical for my liking. It might be worth installing some shoring for projects like this in the future, but It seemed like everyone was aware of the hazards for the most part. You guys did good work and showed excellent communication. It's always a pleasure to see a group of professionals at work.

Love your videos watch them all the time .

Man, looking the doozer digging itself in.... wooooooow
These unique recovery videos are awesome. Keep them coming!
Im binge watching from 7 yrs back till now, I guessed 14 hrs, but no where did it say how long cept it took one day.. great job men and MAMA out there digging too. I love love all your content!
The other thing I wanted to say is I want you guys because you're one of the few that are spiritual. I'm very spiritual. Been cleaning and sober for 8 years. And I'm trying to get more out of my life. I want my heart to be happy
I really enjoyed that. Thank you. I think a 'snatch box' means something completely different in Manchester. England though. Lololol.
I have never seen such team work on anything like this? I do say I am very impressed by your team work and knowledge amazing btw you guys are funny as hell to watch but you get it done 👏🏻💪🏻
I definitely enjoy watching your recovery session I didn’t quite a bit of recovery back and My Days so I say it’s gonna take you every bit of 12 1/2 hours to do this recovery .
How do.F
How do I find what I want to see again

So happy to see hunter back on the team!!!! My guess 5.50 hrs
I say 8 hours, you've gotten pretty good. At what you do I would love to be a part of it
Ya'll must have the best karma in the world doing a recovery like that and helping out the cera gordo dude out just out of kindness.
Many blessings , SMR
God has richly blessed him. It is only appropriate that he share his blessings.
I don't think it took any longer then 3hrs 45mins
To be fair, he knew he'd have some great content out of the deal, but regardless, absolutely good karma
If I had it I would help 2 I love doing that stuff but my Tahoe and Toyota truck just won't do it !!! Like go to work or pull that out with all them big ass toys no brainer I'm playing till it's done 100% and having a great time !!
He ain't no Hindu
I'm sitting here going come on, come on. Turn that turret on the 450 around, the counter weight is dragging and use that bucket to push. Soon as I thought that, he did it YEAH
I love your guys work
Love it. Thats using leverage from all points...
Watching this reminds me of the time I got the family Volvo stuck in my kid's sandpit. I pretty much had to employ similar tactics as you guys.
If there ever was a person who found their calling, it’s this man. He’s entirely too good at these huge problems.
You guys should get ahold of AL Quiring from Highway thru hell , he has a awesome way of rigging up and pulling out big equipment like you are messing with. But if you could get the shackles and stuff that he uses,it would help tremendously. Al Quiring towing in Canada I think. Anyway good job Holmes!
It took well takes as long as it takes to get the job done,cause it's what we do Brother!💯
This MUDFLOOD once buried the whole World. The FLOOD. 30 FEET. The covered Old World buildings with levels with arched Windows and Entrance s gives it. As all tunnels. They just raised the street level. The dust of "Wild west" was dry Mud next to Palaces and State Capitol buildings.
I think that by building a smooth ramp, the operation is greatly simplified. The angle of the ramp is very important to be smooth.
On next episode 5 ton wrecker gets beefed up with a stupid amount of pull power and is built with solid front bar that doesn't bend when anchored..it would be good to see some of the military stuff getting rebuilt for heavy duty recovery
19 hr 45 minutes
I like this idea, would be really cool to see some of the military trucks getting a little bit of a make over for heavy rescue/recovery.
Okay, lift the front of the crawler tracks up with the bucket and put a log or logs under them drop the tracks onto the log and drive out or repeat.
I think only heavy D can do it he is awesome
